In search of my ultimate chip shooter I need a machine faster than 2 universal instruments lightning heads. I am aware Fuji has a turret head and Yamaha. Are they as reliable/fast as the lightning head? Who else makes turret heads?

Seeing a product such as this and thinking about simple engineering. Every lightning rod I have ever seen on a building, home, tower, etc... had this long metal device called a "conductive wire" that runs into the ground. I'll stick with the ligh

Anyone out there with first hand experience with the Advantis platform and more specifically with the lightning head? How is the speed/accuracy/software? Thanks!!

The Lightning Head on an Advantis Platform is a good choice. You should expect to see "Real Life" speeds around 20K, better accuracy than any Turret Style Machine, and the software is the same as any GSM,Genesis,Advantis machine using a Windows platf

We have 2 lightning head machines. We have a very clean, dry air supply. We have had zero spindle problems in 3 yrs.

Genesis should work with pneumatic feeders, but not if Lightning heads are used. It's basically 24V transformer and some wires and fuses - you can do this "upgrade" by yourself, actually. Regarding cal. kit - it's the same as for GSM's but, again, no

So far, So good! We are currently standardizing the Lightning Head Advantis as our chip-shooter. We only place chip packages, 0201-1206 with the Lightning Head and everything runs great. We performed qualification testing with components up to 20mm
